With 19:40 on the clock in the first half of the University of Vermont’s match-up against Albany in March, Josh Speidel caught a pass and scored. The crowd went wild, and the coaches and players of both teams hugged Josh. Josh announced, “I did it! I’m a college basketball player!”
Making a single lay-up (单手上篮) would be no big deal for the average player. But five years ago, Josh suffered a brain injury in a car accident only months after signing with the UVM Catamounts. Josh had offers from 15 universities, but playing for UVM had always been his dream.
After the accident, he went into a coma (昏迷) and the doctors told his parents that he might remain in a vegetative state or need round the-clock care for the rest of his life. But his parents never lost faith that their son would wake up, and agreed they wouldn’t tell Josh his terrible prognosis when he did.
Four weeks later Josh proved them right. Not only did he learn to walk and talk again, soon he was even working out. But the goal of playing basketball was a driving force in Josh’s recovery.
Just a year and a half after the accident, he headed off to Burlington, Vermont to start college. With periodic arm tremors and short-term memory loss, Josh knew he would never play for UVM, but he watched every practice from the sideline sand became an important part of the team. UVMs associate head coach Kyle Cieplicki, who’d been Josh’s lead recruiter, said, “He’s shown the whole team how to handle adversity.”
Now 24, Josh will graduate from UVM in May with a 3.4 GPA. He’s majoring in education and social services, and plans to work with kids. Josh tells people who are struggling with their own challenges,” Always have a goal in your head and chase after it as hard as you can. And whenever you need help, ask.”
4. How did Josh Speidel react to his score in the match

6. What can we learn from Josh Speidel’s experience

C. Two heads are better than one. D. God helps those who help themselves.
7. What is mainly talked about in the passage

C. Josh’s struggle against difficulties. D. Josh’s suffering in the accident.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number (识别码) to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E— mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
Book Crossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty—five countries.
8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce Book Crossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. An adventure. B. A public place.
C. The book. D. The identification number.
10. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it
A. Keep it safe in his bookcase. B. Mail it back to its owner.
C. Meet other readers to discuss it. D. Pass it on to another reader.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A New Trend
C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books
D
It is hard to imagine that plants or animals could ever exist on Mars. But scientists continue to look for evidence. NASA, America’s space agency, has found evidence that, a long time ago, there was surface water on the Mars. Scientists believe water is necessary for life as we know it. So since that discovery, they have been looking for chemicals that would be present if there once was or still is life on the planet.
At a December 13 meeting in California, NASA scientists reported an important discovery on Mars. They said for the first time that they had found very small amounts of boron(硼). Boron is important because it could help build RNA molecules(分子). And RNA molecules are important because they are one of the basic building parts for life.
One of the next steps in the scientists’ search for life on Mars comes soon. The next spacecraft is planned to launch. It will bring rocks from Mars back to Earth. Scientists in Britain are getting ready for those Mars rocks now. Before this, using a powerful microscope(显微镜), they have already examined 200-million-year-old volcanic rocks found deep in the Pacific Ocean. The microscope showed holes on the rocks caused by tiny living things called microbes(微生物). Microbes are the oldest form of life on Earth.
Next, the scientists in Britain will examine rocks which contain ancient material from Mars. The material comes from a time when Mars would have been more likely to support life. The scientists hope to get the same findings in the rocks from Mars as the ones they saw in the ocean rocks. If they do, they predict that the rocks coming directly from Mars will also show signs of life. That, in turn, could finally prove that we are not alone in the universe.
12. What caused scientists to look for evidence of life on Mars
A. The discovery of plants. B. The discovery of chemicals.
C. The discovery of surface water. D. The discovery of RNA molecules.
13. Why is the discovery of boron on Mars important
A. It is hardly seen on the earth. B. It might prove the existence of life.
C. It might cause the holes on the rocks. D. It is the most necessary part of life.
14. What do scientists expect to find through examining the rocks
A. Tiny living things. B. Ancient material from Mars.
C. Volcanic rocks. D. Holes caused by microbes.
15. What is the best title for this text
A. Scientists Try To Look For Life On Mars
B. Does Surface Water Really Exist On Mars
C. A Discovery Of Life In The Pacific Ocean
D. Boron-An Important Chemical Supporting Life

With 19:40 on the clock in the first half of the University of Vermont’s match-up against Albany in March, Josh Speidel caught a pass and scored. The crowd went wild, and the coaches and players of both teams hugged Josh. Josh announced, “I did it! I’m a college basketball player!”
Making a single lay-up (单手上篮) would be no big deal for the average player. But five years ago, Josh suffered a brain injury in a car accident only months after signing with the UVM Catamounts. Josh had offers from 15 universities, but playing for UVM had always been his dream.
After the accident, he went into a coma (昏迷) and the doctors told his parents that he might remain in a vegetative state or need round the-clock care for the rest of his life. But his parents never lost faith that their son would wake up, and agreed they wouldn’t tell Josh his terrible prognosis when he did.
Four weeks later, Josh proved them right. Not only did he learn to walk and talk again, soon he was even working out. But the goal of playing basketball was a driving force in Josh’s recovery.
Just a year and a half after the accident, he headed off to Burlington, Vermont to start college. With periodic arm tremors and short-term memory loss, Josh knew he would never play for UVM, but he watched every practice from the sideline sand became an important part of the team. UVMs associate head coach Kyle Cieplicki, who’d been Josh’s lead recruiter, said, “He’s shown the whole team how to handle adversity.”
Now 24, Josh will graduate from UVM in May with a 3.4 GPA. He’s majoring in education and social services, and plans to work with kids. Josh tells people who are struggling with their own challenges,” Always have a goal in your head and chase after it as hard as you can. And whenever you need help, ask.”

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number (识别码) to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E— mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
Book Crossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty—five countries.
8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce Book Crossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. An adventure. B. A public place.
C. The book. D. The identification number.
10. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it
A. Keep it safe in his bookcase. B. Mail it back to its owner.
C. Meet other readers to discuss it. D. Pass it on to another reader.
11. What is the best title for the text

It is hard to imagine that plants or animals could ever exist on Mars. But scientists continue to look for evidence. NASA, America’s space agency, has found evidence that, a long time ago, there was surface water on the Mars. Scientists believe water is necessary for life as we know it. So since that discovery, they have been looking for chemicals that would be present if there once was or still is life on the planet.
At a December 13 meeting in California, NASA scientists reported an important discovery on Mars. They said for the first time that they had found very small amounts of boron(硼). Boron is important because it could help build RNA molecules(分子). And RNA molecules are important because they are one of the basic building parts for life.
One of the next steps in the scientists’ search for life on Mars comes soon. The next spacecraft is planned to launch. It will bring rocks from Mars back to Earth. Scientists in Britain are getting ready for those Mars rocks now. Before this, using a powerful microscope(显微镜), they have already examined 200-million-year-old volcanic rocks found deep in the Pacific Ocean. The microscope showed holes on the rocks caused by tiny living things called microbes(微生物). Microbes are the oldest form of life on Earth.
Next, the scientists in Britain will examine rocks which contain ancient material from Mars. The material comes from a time when Mars would have been more likely to support life. The scientists hope to get the same findings in the rocks from Mars as the ones they saw in the ocean rocks. If they do, they predict that the rocks coming directly from Mars will also show signs of life. That, in turn, could finally prove that we are not alone in the universe.
12. What caused scientists to look for evidence of life on Mars
A. The discovery of plants. B. The discovery of chemicals.
C. The discovery of surface water. D. The discovery of RNA molecules.
13. Why is the discovery of boron on Mars important
A. It is hardly seen on the earth. B. It might prove the existence of life.
C. It might cause the holes on the rocks. D. It is the most necessary part of life.
14. What do scientists expect to find through examining the rocks
A. Tiny living things. B. Ancient material from Mars.
C. Volcanic rocks. D. Holes caused by microbes.
15. What is the best title for this text
A. Scientists Try To Look For Life On Mars
B. Does Surface Water Really Exist On Mars
C. A Discovery Of Life In The Pacific Ocean
D. Boron-An Important Chemical Supporting Life
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道,本文主要介绍科学家努力寻找火星上存在生命的证据。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“NASA, America’s space agency, has found evidence that, a long time ago, there was surface water on the Mars. Scientists believe water is necessary for life as we know it. So since that discovery, they have been looking for chemicals that would be present if there once was or still is life on the planet.(美国航空航天局发现的证据表明,很久以前火星上有地表水。科学家们认为,正如我们所知,水是生命所必需的。因此,自从这个发现以来,他们一直在寻找火星上曾经或仍然存在生命时可能存在的化学物质)”可知,美国航天局的发现表明火星上有地表水,水又是生命所必需的,这使得科学家认为火星上曾经或仍然存在生命,试图找出证据。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Boron is important because it could help build RNA molecules(分子). And RNA molecules are important because they are one of the basic building parts for life.(硼很重要,因为它可以帮助构建RNA分子。RNA分子很重要,因为它们是生命的基本组成部分之一)”可知,硼可以帮助构建生命基本组成部分之一的RNA分子,因此在火星上发现硼很重要,这可能证明那里有生命的存在。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The microscope showed holes on the rocks caused by tiny living things called microbes(微生物).(显微镜显示岩石上的洞是由一种叫做微生物的微小生物造成的)”及最后一段中“The scientists hope to get the same findings in the rocks from Mars as the ones they saw in the ocean rocks.(科学家们希望从火星的岩石中得到与他们在海洋岩石中看到的相同的发现)”可知,海洋岩石显示出了一些由微生物造成的洞,科学家研究火星岩石希望得到相同的发现,即科学家通过研究火星上的岩石期待发现由微生物造成的洞。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合文章前两句“It is hard to imagine that plants or animals could ever exist on Mars. But scientists continue to look for evidence.(很难想象植物或动物曾在火星上存在过。但科学家们仍在继续寻找证据)”可知,本文主要介绍科学家努力寻找火星上存在生命的证据,故选A。

【16题详解】
空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子,根据下文讲述的三种睡觉姿势对健康的影响可知,空格处的句子应该提到睡觉姿势对人的健康的影响,所以F项“Here, this article reveals exactly how your sleep position is affecting your health.(在这里,这篇文章揭示了你的睡眠姿势是如何影响你的健康的)”填入空格处,可以引起下文,符合题意。故选F项。
【17题详解】
空格前的句子“Often our body naturally moves to this position, which is linked to when we were in the womb in the foetal(胎儿的) position.(我们的身体通常会自然地移动到这个姿势,这与我们在子宫里的胎儿姿势有关)”是说侧卧而睡与胎儿的姿势有关,而空格后的句子“It offers a number of benefits to your body, from promoting healthy spine alignment(脊椎对齐) which can help to prevent back pain to reducing heartburn and snoring.(它对你的身体有很多好处,从促进健康的脊柱,可以帮助防止背痛,到减少胃灼热和打鼾)”却是在说侧卧而睡对健康的好处,前后句子之间缺少过渡,所以空格处的句子应该起到过渡作用,过渡到讲述侧卧而睡对健康的影响上来。所以B项“Sleeping on your side is probably the best position(侧卧可能是最好的睡姿)”填入空格处,可以起到这种过渡作用。故填B项。
【18题详解】
空格前的句子“When you’re sleeping on your back, it’s easy to keep alignment and to also evenly distribute your weight.(当你平躺着睡觉时,很容易保持身体的直线,也很容易平均分配你的体重)”是说,平躺着睡觉对身体的好处,空格处的句子也应该涉及平躺着睡的好处,所以A项“This also helps to prevent any neck and back pain.(这也有助于预防颈部和背部疼痛)”填入空格处,可以顺接上文的内容。故选A项。

空格前的句子“Sleeping on your stomach is the least common sleeping position. (趴着睡是最不常见的睡姿)”是说趴着睡是最不常见的睡姿,空格后的句子“And those who sleep on their stomach could put themselves at risk of a less restful night’s sleep. The stomach offers the least amount of back support and can increase pressure on the spine which may cause pain once you wake up.(那些趴着睡的人可能会让自己晚上睡得不那么安稳。胃对背部的支撑最少,而且会增加脊椎的压力,醒来后可能会引起疼痛)”又说趴着睡对健康的不良影响,所以空格处的句子也应该是说趴着睡的弊端,所以D项“There are more negatives to this position compared to positives.(这种姿势的坏处比好处要多)”填入空格处,和上下文是顺接关系,符合题意。故选D项。
【20题详解】
空格后的句子“You should consider various factors such as if you snore or suffer sleep problems, or if you often have back and neck pain.(你应该考虑各种因素,比如你是否打鼾或有睡眠问题,或者你是否经常背部和颈部疼痛)”是说,你的睡觉姿势可能受各种因素的影响,与个人的具体情况有关,空格处的句子也应该提到相关内容,所以E项“Determining the sleeping position for you is personal preference.(睡姿是个人喜好决定的)”填入空格处,和下文是顺接关系。故选E项。
